HAC831C9 Interaction Radiation - Matter. Radiation protection (2.5 ECTS)
Presentation
Description:
The aim of this U.E. is to introduce the tools of radiometry, understand the mechanisms of interaction between ionizing radiation and living matter, learn about the modes of exposure to ionizing radiation, and use this knowledge to understand the rules and requirements of radiation protection.
